Shower enclosure door: the models

Let’s now analyse the various shower enclosure door models. This will give you an overall picture of the various options available to you. We will list the most useful ones to save space in your bathroom.

• Standard opening: for those who have a shower with a lot of space in front, this opening allows you to enter comfortably, moving it both outwards and inwards.
• Sliding: this type of door is ideal for those with small bathrooms. And therefore little space available.
• Folding: a truly innovative solution. We could define it as a middle way between the previous ones. Because even in this case, it takes up little space and guarantees a remarkable aesthetic.

How to handle doors

In order to prevent easy damage, shower doors require some care. If your water is particularly limey, a mixture of water, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda can be used to prevent limescale build-up on the doors. Warm water, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. Simply apply this solution to the panel and leave it to act for at least 15 minutes. Then remove it with a damp cloth. A cheap, quick and undoubtedly effective solution.
But which doors get dirty most often? Undoubtedly those made of plastic. To overcome this problem, you can clean them with the following mixture. Ammonia, alcohol and lukewarm water.

We recommend that you also remember to clean the silicone rails. They are the place where most fungus forms. Whenever you clean your shower, we recommend that you keep the room ventilated.

For those who are reluctant to use these more environmentally friendly alternatives, remember to carry out anti-limescale treatments. The worst enemy of any shower.
